There is such an option as --evil?? hehe But what I normally do is just that.. rpm -Uvh *rpm > An Evo install is certainly simpler and is less likely to cause problems > for you. It does need to upgrade some stuffs though.. But speaking of which, it seems that red-carpet will not show me the evo 1.4.6 stuffs. It must've detected my 1.4.5, and only offering me the option of upgrading to evo-devel-1.4.6 and evo-pilot-1.4.6 So... Long story cut short. I'm definately gonna skip item 1. Item 2, well, I'm really afraid of screwing things up. Darn it.
